1.2 About Humanity & Inclusion in Thailand
HI started working in Thailand in 1982 and first focused its actions on the delivery of mobility and assistive products to Cambodian and Burmese landmine victims, most of who needed lower limb prostheses. Since 1998, the scope of projects broadened and HI started providing physical rehabilitation services to persons with disabilities, as well as promoting inclusion within mainstream service providers.
